 		[e-mail] Difference Engine
Sent a response to Mr. Plasma's butterfly mail this morning and got this response.

Quote:
Dear Josh

Thank you for your correspondence and condolence,

I am not of this age and so it takes some time for me to work your new fangled difference engines. -Though in my heart I believe that it is similar calculus that will save me.

You ask how you can help? I think you may need a portable difference engine that can speak to the stars to find me. .... Then we will talk in person.





Mr. A Plasm

 		I didn't get a butterfly either.

Just did some looking up on 'difference engines', basically an early mechanical form of calculator. I suspect that he is simply referring to computers 'new-fangled difference engines' and by 'portable difference engine that speaks to the stars' I suspect he is referring to a PDA with WiFi as I read somewhere about the Geist PM's experimenting with Mediascape (a new technology based on delivering content based on geographical location).

I hope not though seeing as I don't have a PDA... Sad

Mine didn't have the "then we can talk in person" appended.

Seems to be a reference to GPS/laptop-style kit.

Is there any way "Corinthians 15:54" can be read as a geographic reference? Doesn't look to be Bristol anyway...

http://www.mscapers.com/ seems relevant, based on Jon's comments in http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=19599&start=6

[edit - quoted your email to make it stand out from your comments; save the spoilers for puzzle solves, go ahead and post your specs - kona]

 		Once we get all of the butterflies, I'm thinking some layering/photoshop tricks may be called for.

Dear Rekidk

Perhaps you would call it a "Portable Difference Apparatus"™?



A friend who I met after my days once said:

"We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever."



Mr. A Plasm





On Thu Jul 5 15:39 , sent:

Mr. Plasm,

What is this 'portable difference engine' that you speak of? Is there any other name that I might know it by?

I truly want to help, and I am sorry for your situation.

---Rekidk


And of course, 'Portable Difference Apparatus' would appear to indicate a PDA.

Attached was a new butterfly. Scary number.
